Manual Plagiarism Checkers

Manual plagiarism checkers are used to check for plagiarized versions of content one page or one article at a time.

Try using Google’s standard search function or Google Reader to see if your content (or parts of it) show up anywhere else on the Internet.

Or, try a manual plagiarism-detection service specifically designed to search for a block of matching content, one article at a time. A simple Google search will turn up many free tools that can be used for this purpose.

Sites that benefit most from this type of service? Manual plagiarism checkers are ideal for sites with a small number of articles. Drawback? A manual process can get unwieldy for a site that publishes a great deal of content.

Advanced Plagiarism Detection Tools

Instead of searching for duplicate content one page at a time, you can use an automated service to continuously monitor and protect your content.

In addition to automation, advanced plagiarism-detection services typically offer sophisticated custom features that can be very useful.

As an example, iCopyright’s infringement detection and resolution service, Discovery™ lets you determine what qualifies as matching content with a sophisticated set of filters. And once duplicate content is detected, it offers an automated resolution service to get it taken care of quickly.

The ability to use advanced settings helps to identify suspects for a closer look, without wasting time on insignificant matches. And an automated resolution service can simplify what can be a time consuming and confusing process to get pirated content removed.

Sites that benefit most from this type of service? Blogs and websites that have lots of content and produce content on a regular basis. For many, the peace of mind that comes with continuous detection of duplicate content is worth the modest cost of protection.
